Patricia Berry, 22, was found dead in her Fulton County apartment on Roswell Road in June 1981. Her body was discovered partially clothed and submerged in her bathtub; the cause of death was ruled strangulation.

Investigators noted strong similarities between Berry’s killing and two recent DeKalb County cases in which 22-year-old women were also found strangled in bathtubs. The pattern prompted joint information-sharing between Fulton and DeKalb detectives and led the media to label the unidentified assailant the Bathtub Strangler.

Detectives eventually focused their investigation on a man named James Samuel Walraven, who was later arrested and charged in connection with the string of slayings. Anyone who knew Patricia, lived near Roswell Road in 1981, or has information about these cases is asked to come forward.
